Depends. some are quick. some are multistage affairs and other require lots of investigation (or reading stuff on google)

I'm playing this too, have been since release. I have a low level toon lurking in Kingsmouth ready to help out anyone who needs it. I have another toon who's finished the main storyline.

Faction doesnt matter, although Sorontar and I are in a Templar only guild and only have templar characters... :)

I'm in the same guild, it's a active guild with both starting and end game content being played (Nightmare dungeons every night, raids a couple times a week) and the Templar storyline is really interesting/solid.

Play a Templar :p

I played a Templar, too. I think I stopped playing directly after reaching the desert. I had a problem that a lot of the quests were too horror for me, which meant I could not sleep well if I played too late into the night. ;-)

Still playing and enjoying. Have yet to master a decent healing build though but the mix of investigation and stealth missions into the usual 'kill x number of nasty things' grind make things a lot more interesting. Can see this one lasting a good long while.

the problem with healing is technically you dont need it to do the main content, and healing in a solo build reduces your dps making it take longer to kill stuff..

But the best direct healing is blood / Fist. This is probably what your aiming for mid game (Blue mountain & early egypt)
Actives:
Cauterize
Surgical Steel
Empathy
Blood Shield
Angelic Aegis
The Scarlet Arts
Shelter

Passives:
Hot Iron
Healing Sparks
Out of the Woods (Elite Passive)
Brawler (Hammer 1 AP passive)
Rapid Shield
Angel�s Touch

Glyph for Crit rating (aim for 700-800), Crit Power (400-500) dont bother with penetration, you not goign to be hitting stuff, and heal rating instead of attack rating. But with this build you wont solo anything, its a pure heal/support role.

oh and yes there is a spare passive slot. You can slot it with anything that will boost your healing sensibly.

Cheers Zed, sounds like I'm gonna be lugging 2 sets of gear round if I fancy healing dungeons (which I do). Had an awful run last night that I'm still narked at!

Full group in Polaris, Corwin tanking. The other group members seemed to have higher grear ratings - up to Q10. I was fine to a point keeping Corwin's health up on the main boss but things got more than a bit hairy when I had to switch over to a DPS or (more importantly) myself.
I could be snide and say that there were more than a few times where they didn't pick the adds off quick enough and I was getting pummled but in the main the issue was with my healing.

The group probably wasnt coordinated either. As you saw 2 QL10 geared plus you can romp through Polaris no problem. sounds like a lack of coordination with people not understanding their roles properly...

Deeps need to take on adds. My leech build means i can switch to adds and still keep Sorontar up on health without missing a beat.

Interesting. I ran a pvp scenario with my newbie alt and I was cut down in under 5 seconds every time someone hit me. I hit for a good 100 damage, they hit for 800 to 1200. Heh. Just like I remember it. ;-)

That and the Illuminati owned the whole map of Fusang, every time we took a respawn point it was back to Illuminati in 2 minutes. Attacking anything else was a waste of time because they rolled over us like a tidal wave. Guess I can rule out pvp. ;-)

PVP is a lot about gear. One of my characters can generally hold its own in pvp - i hit for around 800 - 1000 :) but i can still get cut down in seconds....

you really need blue ql10 gear to pvp sensibly.

I have purple QL10 PVP weapons on my main (Tank) and green QL10 PVE everything else.

Did not feel like playing the char though, so I played the Healer/DPS. Assault Rifle and Elemental or was it Electricity or something? Anyway, I was planning to go Assault Rifle / Blood with the char. Still a newbie char, can only wear QL2 stuff.

I used to get a decent exp boost doing pvp with my main, but it seems like things cooled down a lot in PVP and there is no real way to fight competitive with a new char. I remember back when I first played, complaining about hitting people for 200 and they hitting me for 500. The ratio has deteriorated even further in the meantime. ;)
